(Num 7:1) Nowe when Moses had finished the setting vp of the Tabernacle, and anointed it and sanctified it, and all the instruments thereof, and the altar with al the instruments thereof, and had anoynted them and sanctified them,

(Num 7:2) Then the princes of Israel, heads ouer the houses of their fathers (they were the princes of the tribes, who were ouer them that were nombred) offred,

(Num 7:3) And brought their offring before the Lord, sixe couered charets, and twelue oxen: one charet for two princes, and for euery one an oxe, and they offred them before the Tabernacle.

(Notes Reference) And they brought their offering before the LORD, six (a) covered wagons, and twelve oxen; a wagon for two of the princes, and for each one an ox: and they brought them before the tabernacle.

(a) Like horse litters, to keep the things that were carried in them from the weather.

(Num 7:4) And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

(Num 7:5) Take these of them, that they may be to doe the seruice of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and thou shalt giue them vnto the Leuites, to euery man according vnto his office.

Passage 3: Luke 18

(Luk 18:1) And he spake also a parable vnto them, to this ende, that they ought alwayes to pray, and not to waxe faint,

(Notes Reference) And (1) he spake a parable unto them [to this end], that men ought always to pray, and not to (a) faint;

(1) God will have us to continue in prayer, not to weary us, but to exercise us; therefore we must fight against impatience so that a long delay does not cause us to quit our praying.

(a) Yield to afflictions and adversities as those do who have lost heart.

(Luk 18:2) Saying, There was a iudge in a certaine citie, which feared not God, neither reuereced man.

(Notes Reference) (b) Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:

(b) He does not compare things that are of equal stature, but the less with the greater: If a man receives what is rightfully his at the hands of a most unrighteous judge, much more will the prayers of the godly prevail before God.

(Luk 18:3) And there was a widowe in that citie, which came vnto him, saying, Doe mee iustice against mine aduersarie.

(Luk 18:4) And hee would not of a long time: but afterward he said with himselfe, Though I feare not God, nor reuerence man,

(Luk 18:5) Yet because this widowe troubleth mee, I will doe her right, lest at the last shee come and make me wearie.

(Notes Reference) Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she (c) weary me.

(c) Literally, "beat me down with her blows", and it is a metaphor taken of wrestlers who beat their adversaries with their fists or clubs: in the same way those that are persistent beat the judge's ears with their crying out, even as it were with blows.

(Luk 18:6) And the Lord said, Heare what the vnrighteous iudge saith.

(Luk 18:7) Now shall not God auenge his elect, which cry day and night vnto him, yea, though he suffer long for them?

(Notes Reference) And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though (d) he bear long with them?

(d) Though he seems slow in avenging the harm done to his own.

(Luk 18:8) I tell you he will auenge them quickly: but when the Sonne of man commeth, shall he finde faith on the earth?

(Luk 18:9) He spake also this parable vnto certaine which trusted in themselues that they were iust, and despised other.

(Notes Reference) (2) And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

(2) Two things especially make our prayers void and of no effect: confidence of our own righteousness, and our contempt of others; but a humble heart is contrary to both of these.

(Luk 18:10) Two men went vp into the Temple to pray: the one a Pharise, and the other a Publican.

(Luk 18:11) The Pharise stoode and prayed thus with himselfe, O God, I thanke thee that I am not as other men, extortioners, vniust, adulterers, or euen as this Publican.

(Notes Reference) (3) The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men [are], extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

(3) Although we confess that whatever we have, we have it from God, yet we are despised by God as proud and arrogant if we put even the least trust in our own works before God.

(Luk 18:12) I fast twise in the weeke: I giue tithe of all that euer I possesse.

(Luk 18:13) But the Publican standing a farre off, woulde not lift vp so much as his eyes to heauen, but smote his brest, saying, O God, be mercifull to me a sinner.

(Notes Reference) And the publican, standing (e) afar off, would not lift up so much as [his] eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

(e) Far from the Pharisee in a lower place.

(Luk 18:14) I tell you, this man departed to his house iustified, rather then the other: for euery man that exalteth himselfe, shall be brought lowe, and he that humbleth himselfe, shalbe exalted.

(Luk 18:15) They brought vnto him also babes that he should touche them. And when his disciples sawe it, they rebuked them.

(Notes Reference) (f) And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: (4) but when [his] disciples saw [it], they rebuked them.

(f) The children were tender and young in that they were brought, which appears more evidently in that they were infants. (Ed.) (4) To judge or think of Christ after the reason of the flesh is the cause of infinite corruptions.

(Luk 18:16) But Iesus called them vnto him, and said, Suffer the babes to come vnto mee, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdome of God.

(Notes Reference) (5) But Jesus (g) called them [unto him], and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

(5) The elect children of the faithful are included in the free covenant of God. (Ed.)

(g) Those that carried the children, whom the disciples drove away.

(Luk 18:17) Verely I say vnto you, whosoeuer receiueth not the kingdome of God as a babe, he shall not enter therein.

(Notes Reference) (6) Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.

(6) Childlike innocence is an ornament of Christians.

(Luk 18:18) Then a certaine ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what ought I to doe, to inherite eternall life?

(Luk 18:19) And Iesus said vnto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, saue one, euen God.

(Luk 18:20) Thou knowest the comandements, Thou shalt not commit adulterie: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not steale: Thou shalt not beare false witnes: Honour thy father and thy mother.

(Luk 18:21) And hee saide, All these haue I kept from my youth.

(Notes Reference) (7) And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.

(7) The enticement of riches carries many away from the right way.

(Luk 18:22) Nowe when Iesus heard that, he saide vnto him, Yet lackest thou one thing. Sell all that euer thou hast, and distribute vnto the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, and come follow mee.

(Luk 18:23) But when he heard those things, he was very heauie: for he was marueilous riche.

(Luk 18:24) And when Iesus sawe him very sorowfull, he said, With what difficultie shall they that haue riches, enter into the kingdome of God!

(Notes Reference) (8) And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

(8) To be both rich and godly is a singular gift of God.

(Luk 18:25) Surely it is easier for a camel to go through a needles eye, then for a riche man to enter into the kingdome of God.

(Luk 18:26) Then said they that heard it, And who then can be saued?

(Luk 18:27) And he said, The things which are vnpossible with men, are possible with God.

(Luk 18:28) Then Peter said, Loe, we haue left all, and haue followed thee.

(Luk 18:29) And he said vnto them, Verely I say vnto you, there is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children for the kingdome of Gods sake,

(Notes Reference) (9) And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,

(9) They become the richest of all who do not refuse to be poor for Christ's sake.

(Luk 18:30) Which shall not receiue much more in this world, and in the world to come life euerlasting.

(Luk 18:31) Then Iesus tooke vnto him ye twelue, and said vnto them, Beholde, we goe vp to Hierusalem, and all things shalbe fulfilled to the Sonne of man, that are writttn by the Prophets.

(Notes Reference) (10) Then he took [unto him] the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.

(10) As sure and certain as persecution is, so sure is the glory which remains for the conquerors.

(Luk 18:32) For he shall be deliuered vnto the Gentiles, and shalbe mocked, and shalbe spitefully entreated, and shalbe spitted on.

(Luk 18:33) And when they haue scourged him, they will put him to death: but the thirde day hee shall rise againe.

(Luk 18:34) But they vnderstood none of these things, and this saying was hidde from them, neither perceiued they the things, which were spoken.

(Notes Reference) And they understood (h) none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
